Posted by Edward P. Sarber on July 13, 2008  Those silver trucks make me throw up in my mouth. Posted by Nick Kraynak on July 13, 2008  What a classic beauty! I love the radio equipped decal:) Posted by Arne Brown on July 13, 2008  It's too bad the SP didn't make silver trucks the standard for "black widow" units, it really does make them stand out. Posted by Jeff Swanson on July 13, 2008  Sorry, Eddie. I kinda agree with Arenie..she is sharp looking Posted by Scott Haugland on July 13, 2008  It's amazing to me how a simple paint scheme of only four colors and a very basic design pattern can be so beautiful! I think the silver trucks are nice but, I would've stuck with Espee's original black trucks. I love the return of the full Espee light package too. It looks like she just rolled off the line at E.M.D. Posted by J. C. Smith, Jr. on July 14, 2008  There is a precedent for silver trucks on a black widow hood unit. When Espee painted its two ex-F-M Trainmaster demonstrators into company colors, they left the trucks in their opriginal silver for some time. Those F-M demos were also the first hood units to carry the black widow scheme. Posted by Greg T. on July 2, 2014  Great looking locomotive! Thanks for sharing.
